Fax Branding
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a
computer or other electronics device to send any message via a telephone facsimile machine
unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted
page or on the first page of the transmission the following information:
(1) the date and time of transmission
(2) identification of either business entity or individual sending the message; and
(3) telephone number of either the sending machine, business, business entity or individual
See page 1.24 for instructions on how to enter this information into your Samsung FAX
machine’s memory.
The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment
operations, or procedures where such action is reasonably required in the operation of its
business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulation in FCC Part 68. If such changes
can be reasonably expected to render any customer terminal equipment incompatible with
telephone company communications facilities, or require modification or alteration of such
terminal equipment, or otherwise materially affect its use or performance, the customer shall
be given adequate notice in writing, to allow the customer an opportunity to maintain
uninterrupted service.

Telephone Company Information
FCC IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this equipment may be
found on the label located on the bottom or rear of the machine. In some instances you may
need to provide these numbers to the telephone company.
RINGER EQUIVALENCE NUMBER
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is a measure of the electrical load placed on the
telephone line, and is useful for determining whether you have “overloaded” the line.
Installing several types of equipment on the same telephone line may result in problems
making and receiving telephone calls, especially ringing when your line is called. The sum of
all Ringer Equivalence Number of the equipment on your telephone line should be less than
five may not be usable on your line. if any of your telephone equipment is not operating
properly, you should immediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to
the telephone network.
WARNING
FCC Regulations state that changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved
by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
In the event that terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company should notify the customer that service may be stopped. However, where prior
notice is impractical, the company may temporarily cease service, providing that they:
a) Promptly notify the customer.
b) Give the customer an opportunity to correct the equipment problem.
c) Inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal Communication
Commission pursuant to procedures set out in FCC Rules and Regulations Subpart E of
Part 68.
You should also know that:
• Your Samsung FAX machine is not designed to be connected to a digital PBX system.
• Special features, such as “Call Waiting”, may interrupt FAX service, and we suggest that
these services not be installed on the FAX line.
• If you intended to use a computer modem or fax modem on the same phone line as your
FAX machine, you may experience transmission and reception problems with all the
equipment. It is recommended that no other equipment, except for a regular telephone,
share the line with your FAX machine.
• If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we recommend
that you install surge protectors for both the power and the telephone lines. Surge
protectors can be purchased from your dealer or telephone and electronic specialty stores.
• When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency
numbers, use a non-emergency number to advise the emergency service dispatcher of
your intentions. The dispatcher will give you further instructions on how to actually test
the emergency number.
• This equipment may not be used on coin service or party lines.
• This telephone provides magnetic coupling to hearing aids.
• You may safely connect this equipment to the telephone network by means of a standard
modular jack, USOC RJ-11C.

Guidelines for the paper
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special media, keep
these guidelines in mind:
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause
paper jams and poor print quality.
• Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multiparty paper.
• Use only high quality, copier grade paper. Avoid paper with embossed
lettering, perforations, or textures that are too smooth or too rough.
• Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white photocopy
paper. The pigments must withstand the printer ’s fusing temperature of
392
o
F (200 oC) for 0.1 second without deterioration. Do not use paper
with a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced.
• Pre-printed forms must be printed with non-flammable, heat-resistant
inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when
subject to the printer ’s approximately 392
o
F (200 oC) fusing temperature
for 0.1 second.
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. Place cartons on
pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place heavy objects on top of
the paper, whether it is packaged or unpackaged. Keep paper away from
moisture, or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.
• During storage, moisture-proof wraping (any plastic container or bag)
should be used to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your
paper.
• Always use paper and other media that conform with those listed under
‘Specifications’ on page 4.7.
• When you choose envelopes, use only well-constructed envelopes with
sharp, and well creased folds.
- DO NOT use envelopes with clasps and snaps.
- DO NOT use envelopes with windows, coated lining, self-stick
adhesives, or other synthetic materials.
- DO NOT use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
